Hi all
A mate of
mine has a 2008 dx navara 4x4 ute 2.5CR diesel. It seems to drive pretty
well and goes
well offroad. However, he is concerned about puffs of blackish smoke that come out of the exhaust when he is changing gears or taking off. It's not like it leaves a huge cloud behind him, but it is certainly noticeable. There is no coughing in the engine or anything. I think it's only done like 70K km's
The nissan people (including their service people) have told him this is standard with the D22 2.5cr engine, and the D40's do it as
well. Apparently, they are just releasing carbon that is coming out of the engine when the accelerator is down...
I was just wondering whether anyone who has one of these utes has had this problem before and how they solved it/whether it is just 'standard'. He's heading on a trip with me soon and was just concerned that something might go wrong.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers
